Do you have cash? I could be wrong but I doubt a bank or hard money lender is going to give you a loan while you are in bankruptcy. As far as private money goes, I think most people would be leary of working with you.

Hello BP,

I know everyone here has strong opinions on Zillow. But I know 3 People who bought a house in the last few years, all three of them found their agents on Zillow. I have heard a lot of people, on this forum and in person, say "Zillow leads are garbage." I suppose they would mostly be buyer leads.

On top of that if I wanted to get in to one of my preferred zip codes it would cost a ton of money. Even if I wanted to get in to the "Next Best" zip codes it would cost most of my marketing budget. If I wanted to do it and not blow my budget I would have to go out in to a sparsely populated rural area.

In short; For a new agent, is Zillow Premier Agent worth it?

Hello BP,

My name is Chris Silva. I am a recently licensed Real Estate Agent in Michigan. I am based out of Ann Arbor but I will do business all over Metro Detroit. As a future investor myself I intend to do a lot of work with investors. 

Being born and raised in Ann Arbor, I am very knowledgeable in the lucrative collage markets of Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti. That being said I am very well versed in all of south eastern Michigan. In addition to the above I am extremely familiar with Canton, Plymouth, Northville, Novi, Livonia, Farmington, Wayne, Westland, Garden City, Redford, Inkster, Belleville, Dearborn and Detroit. 

I look forward to meeting and working with all of you.

Thanks for reading
